Intro
D F# G F# x5
D F#
So he would sulk and drink and mope
G F# D
and cross his arms and hope to die.
D F# G
And then a fairy came one night
F# D
to bring this sorry boy to life.
D F#
She pulled some strings
G
and spun him about.
F#
That boy sprang up
D
and began to shout,
D F# G F# D
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
G#maj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 G#maj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
D
The story goes on
D F# G
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
F# D
to show he was for real.
D F# G
And she would take those gifts and kisses
F# D
though just stringing him along.
D F# G
She knew about those wooden boys-
F# D
it's an empty love to fill the void.
D F# G F#
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
D G#maj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
G#maj9
He had grown tired of her
D F# G F#
So it was true
D F#
He left her apartment
G F# D
And he walked all night long
D F# G F# D F#
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
G F# D G#maj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
G#maj9
and the waves, and screamed
G#maj9
"Liar, liar!"
D F# G
And his wooden body floated away.
F# D
He just drifted away.
D F# G F# D
And now I wonder how I was made...
D F# G F#
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
D G#maj9
my name is Driftwood.
